Show OPENING WEDGE CONSUMERS RIGHTS How has the grape boycott on the West Coast affected the American housewife? By keeping grapes out of the grocery store it has deprived her of an opportunity to make her own. choice when she goes shopping. It has also permitted a secondary boycott boy-cott to sneak in the back door as a labor weapon. Secondary boycotts are outlawed under the National Na-tional Labor Relations Act, but the union which is attempting to organize the California grape pickers pick-ers is pushing the boycott because farm workers are not covered by the act. The overall danger is that if secondary boycotts can be used to force compulsory unionism among grape pickers, then this same weapon eventually could involve any farm product that reaches the American table. Richard Ralphs, board chairman of the National Association of Food Chains, said, "Recently the number of products or companies that many of us have been asked to make economic reprisals against as third parties has reached almost epidemic proportions. pro-portions. Arid far too often the request that we participate par-ticipate has been accompanied by threats of violence and coercion of one form or another if we do not . . . "We think the real question is not 'Who is right and who is wrong?' It is instead, 'Is it in the public interest to force the supermarket industry to sit in judgment on economic disputes of this kind?' "We have come to the conclusion that it is not in the public interest that we become judge and jury in the 'product boycott-of-the-month club!" The American housewife, as well as the farmer will undoubtedly agree. Barefoot in the Park Have you had the urge to shed shoes and stockings and run about barefoot in the park ? The National Safety Council offers a word of caution. Uncounted Un-counted thousands of children suffer fir '.. -nd second degree burns to the soles of their feet from inadvertently stepping on hot coals dumped by a picnicker from a portable barbecue grill. Man-made litter can hide sharp edges in places where excited ex-cited children may run. It's wise to look over the area carefully before allowing children to run around barefooted. Advanced Planning is Lifesaver When Fire Strikes Your Home What would YOU do if your home caught fire tonight? Most parents would be outraged outrag-ed If they discovered that the schools rheir children attend did not condi'd fire drills and never had done any planning for fire emergencies. Yet, ironically, most of these same parents never hold fire-escape drills in their homes where fire is about 200 more times likely to strike. Some 10,-000 10,-000 persons die in home fires each year in the United States. More than half of the victims are children and old people. Tragically, many of them die needlessly because of a lack of basic knowledge on what to do when fire strikes. "Fire-safety experts know that not everyone instinctively flees a burning building. Children often panic and hide in closets or under beds, terror-stricken adults "freeze" In their burning homes and have to be carried out bodily by firemen," says the American Amer-ican Mutual Insurance Alliance an association of mutual insurance insur-ance companies writing property ?uid liability coverages. In a booklet titled "Operation EDITH-Exit Drills In The Home," the Alliance recommends rec-ommends that the head of each family gather his entire household house-hold together and plan exactly Nothing on earth is inproved by a display of anger except the arch of a cat's back. News misprint: "The motorist approached the coroner at sixty miles per hour." The human brain is like a freight carguaranteed to have a certain capacity but often running empty.

The first thing that the family head impresses on all members is that, for maximum safety, all doors should be closed at night. It takes fire from 10 to 15 minutes min-utes to burn through a wooden door. This delays the spread of the flames and increases the chances that someone will awake in time to sound the alarm. Once this safety rule is understood, un-derstood, the family should visit each bedroom and figure out two escape routes from each. One route should be the shortest way through the rooms and halls to an outside door. The other route should be an emergency exit through an alternate door or win-die win-die if the normal route were blocked by fire. Plan how each person can reach the ground safely using this alternative alter-native route. Check the outside of the house from the bedroom windows to find out if porch roofs, garage roofs or porticoes might provide a temporary refuge and a way to the ground. Make some provision for descent des-cent if a high drop is involved. This can be a rope ladder (several (sev-eral versions are on the market), or a knotted rope. Either of these fasteners on the room end so it can be attached quickly to a strong I-bolt in the waS beneath the window. Or yc:r plan may call for whoever gets out of the house first to get a ladder and help other occupants oc-cupants out of the upstairs bedrooms. bed-rooms. In making such plans, take all details into account, Alliance Al-liance fire-safety experts advise. For example, if the ladder is locked in a garage, make sure that a key will be readily available avail-able to all members of the family fam-ily in an emergency. Other precautions recommended rec-ommended by the Alliance: 1. Check ground areas luvter windows to pick out the safest spots in case someone has to jump. For example, concrete walks and shrubbery are not the safest landing sites. 2. Check window escape routes to see if the windows and screens will open readily. If not tell your family how to break the windows in an emergency with a chair or a nightstand. Also Instruct In-struct family members how to drapt a blanket or bedspread over ov-er the window frame to protect themselves from being cut on the shattered fragments of glass left in the frame. It may be necessary to keep a strong knife in the room to cut screening from its frame, if there 1? no quick way to remove the screen. Make sure that the windows win-dows are large enough, and will open wide enough to permit escape. es-cape. It may be necessary to teach children to use a chest or nightstand so they can reach and escape through high, narrow windows. win-dows. 3. Make special plans for invalids, in-valids, infants and the aged. Invalids In-valids should not be moved out of a high window except as a last resort, and then only by trained firemen with special stretchers. These persons' bedroom doors should be closed every night for maximum safety, since the fire must be delayed as long as possible pos-sible to give firemen time to THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPT. 25, 1969 arrive for a rescue. It is a good idea to notify the nearest fire station that your home contains an invalid or incapacitated in-capacitated person and to point out where this person normally normal-ly sleeps. It's also a good idea to assign other family members to specific jobs to help those less able to help themselves. 4. Decide on a meeting place well away from the house, where all family members should assemble as-semble as soon as they're out of the burning house. Many lives have been lost because someone raced back into a burning house to rescue someone who already had escaped. The iroiK.ad rule is: Once out, don't let anyone go back inside. 5. Decide on an emergency signal sig-nal which means "Fire! Take emergency measures!" The signal sig-nal can be a police whistle or some other noisemaker capable of waking up the entire household. house-hold. 6. Make a floor diagram which puts on paper all of your planning. plan-ning. Show the approximate locations lo-cations of windows, doors, stairs and halls. Mark out both the regular reg-ular and emergency escape routes for each bedroom. Mark the location ofyouroutsidemeet-ing ofyouroutsidemeet-ing place, and where the ladder Is located. Then post this diagram In places where il will serve as a continual reminder. 7. Advise baby sitters of all these rules and plans. In addition to these precautions which cost little or nothing, homeowners could well consider installing a good smoke and heat detection system in their homes, especially if there are Invalids or If escape from bedrooms is very difficult. After you have made your plans you should practice them until every family member is thoroughly thor-oughly familiar with what he or she Is to do In case of fire.
